Rabies Vaccination
My friend was mildly bit by a dog (on his pants). He got two vaccines from Rajasthan government hospital and two from a local pharmacy (both different brands) in a different state. He did not complete his dose.
It's been a couple of years. Should he take a booster shot or anything?
Thank you

Hello, how is the bite like? Need to know if there is a wound or bleeding at the bite site or teeth marks etc. Was it a stray dog or a pet one which is vaccinated?

Already been couple of years.
No need to do anything.
If he is exposed to rabies virus in future then tell him to complete his dose.
Precaution is better than cure.
Rest up to you.. your life do want ever you feel like.
